"The Hawaiian concept of mālama ʻāina - care for the land and ocean - runs through the film, grounding its approach. Moving between shoreline and seabed, Wright explores the region's biodiversity alongside Titouan Bernicot, founder of Coral Gardeners, diving beneath the surface to witness reef restoration efforts up close."
"Wright meets Dr Kapono Ciotti of the Pacific American Foundation, a partner of the Hawaii Blue Schools Hui, which connects students to ocean science through place-based learning. The aim is straightforward: to build literacy through direct engagement, encouraging younger generations to understand and protect the environments around them."
"Around 11 million tonnes of plastic enter the ocean each year, according to the UN Environment Programme, while less than ten per cent of plastic waste is recycled globally. Materials such as nylon - central to Prada's project - are long-lasting, often remaining in ecosystems for decades."
Prada's Re-Nylon series returns with a documentary featuring Letitia Wright, focusing on Hawaii's fragile ecosystems. The film is part of the Sea Beyond initiative, which emphasizes education about ocean life. The first episode featured Benedict Cumberbatch in Japan, while the second episode showcases Hawaii's unique marine biodiversity. Wright collaborates with local experts to explore reef restoration and engage students in ocean science. The documentary addresses the urgent issue of plastic pollution, highlighting the need for environmental protection and sustainability in fashion.
